Introduction
ABAQUS offers two solvers: Implicit solver (ABAQUS/Standard) Solves for true static equilibrium. Explicit solver (ABAQUS/Explicit) Solves for true dynamic equilibrium. At first glance it appears the implicit solver would be the appropriate choice for modeling highly nonlinear static problems. However, explicit solvers are more efficient for this class of problems. This is especially true for three-dimensional problems involving contact and very large deformations.

Introduction
The final deformed configuration is shown at right. Near the end of the punch stroke, the blank pulls through the blank holder and begins to wrinkle. The ABAQUS/Standard job was about 20 times more expensive than the ABAQUS/Explicit job (CPU cost). ABAQUS/Standard fails to converge at the point where the blank begins to wrinkle.

Quasi-Static Simulations Using Explicit Dynamics


Introduction The explicit dynamics procedure is a true dynamic procedure. It was originally developed to model high-speed impact events. Explicit dynamics solves for the state of dynamic equilibrium where inertia can play a dominant role in the solution. Application of explicit dynamics to model quasi-static events requires special consideration: It is computationally impractical to model the process in its natural time period. Literally millions of time increments would be required. Artificially increasing the speed of the process in the simulation is necessary to obtain an economical solution.

Quasi-Static Simulations Using Explicit Dynamics


Two approaches to obtaining economical quasi-static solutions with an explicit dynamics solver Increased load rates Artificially reduce the time scale of the process by increasing the loading rate. Material strain rates calculated in the simulation are artificially high by the same factor applied to increase the loading rate. This is irrelevant if the material is rate insensitive. Mass scaling Mass scaling allows you to model processes in their natural time scale when considering rate-sensitive materials. Artificially increasing the material density by a factor of f 2 increases the stable time increment by a factor of f.

Quasi-Static Simulations Using Explicit Dynamics


How much can I increase the load rate or scale the mass? Increased load rates and mass scaling achieve the same effect: Increased load rates reduce the time scale of the simulation. Fewer increments are needed to complete the job. Mass scaling increases the size of the stable time increment. Fewer increments are needed to complete the job. As the speed of the process is increased, a state of static equilibrium evolves into a state of dynamic equilibrium. Inertia forces become more dominant. The goal is to model the process in the shortest time period (or with the most mass scaling) in which inertia forces are still insignificant.

The dominant response of a quasi-static analysis will be the first structural mode. The frequency of this mode is used to estimate the impact velocity. Estimate the first natural frequency of the model. Calculate the corresponding time period (T) using the first natural frequency of the model. Estimate the global deflection (D) in the impact direction of the model Calculate the impact velocity (V) by using the formula V=D/T A general recommendation is to limit the impact velocity to less than 1% of the wave speed of the material Typical wave speed in metals is 5000 m/sec.

Loading Rates
Suggested approach Run a series of simulations in the order from the fastest load rate to the slowest, since the analysis time is greater for slower load rates. Examine the results (deformed shapes, stresses, strains, energies) to get an understanding for the effects of varying the model. For example, excessive tool speeds in explicit sheet metal forming simulations tend to suppress wrinkling and to promote unrealistic localized stretching. Excessive tool speeds in explicit bulk forming simulations cause jettinghydrodynamic-type response. Excessive loading rates in a quasi-static collapse analysis can result in a steep initial slope of the load versus displacement curve inertial effects cause increased (non-structural) resistance to initial deformation localized buckling near the applied load

Example (contd) : Door beam intrusion test The dominant response in a static test will be in the first structural mode of the beam. The frequency of this mode is used to estimate the impact velocity.

Loading Rates
Why is the velocity 25 m/sec appropriate? The frequency (f) of the first mode is approximately 250 Hz. This corresponds to a period t=0.004 seconds. During this period, the rigid cylinder is pushed into the beam d=0.1 m. Thus, the velocity v is estimated to be v = d / t = 0.1/0.004=25 m/sec. Recall, the wave speed of metals is about 5000 m/sec, so the impact velocity 25 m/sec is about 0.5% of the wave speed. The impact velocity should be limited to less than 1% of the wave speed of the material. A more accurate solution could be obtained by ramping up the velocity smoothly from zero over the analysis step.

Loading Rates
Use the SMOOTH STEP amplitude curve A quasi-static solution is also promoted by applying loads gradually: Instantaneous loading may induce the propagation of a stress wave through the model, producing undesired results. By default, ABAQUS/Explicit loads applied immediately and remain constant throughout the step. Constant velocity boundary conditions also result in a sudden impact load onto a deformable body. Ramping up the loading gradually from zero minimizes these adverse effects. Ramping down the loading to zero is also recommended for the same reasons.

Energy Balance in Quasi-Static Analyses


An energy balance equation can be used to help evaluate whether a simulation is yielding an appropriate quasi-static response.

Consider a pull test applied to a uniaxial tensile specimen. If the physical test is quasi-static, the work applied by the external forces in stretching the specimen equals the internal energy in the specimen.

Energy Balance in Quasi-Static Analyses


The energy history for the quasistatic test would appear as shown in the figure at right: Inertia forces are negligible. The velocity of material in the test specimen is very small. Kinetic energy is negligible. As the speed of the test increases: The response of the specimen becomes less static, more dynamic. Material velocities and, therefore, kinetic energy become more significant.

Energy Balance in Quasi-Static Analyses


Hence, examination of the energy content provides another measure to evaluate whether the results from an ABAQUS/Explicit simulation reflect a quasi-static solution. The kinetic energy of the deforming material should not exceed a small fraction of its internal energy throughout the majority of a quasi-static analysis. A small fraction typically means 15%. It is generally not possible to achieve this in early stages of the analysis since the deformable body will be moving before it develops any significant deformation. Use smooth step amplitude curves to improve early response. Not interested in kinetic energy of rigid bodies. Subtract their contribution from global model kinetic energy or restrict energy output to deforming components.

Mass Scaling
Introduction When the loading rates is increased to efficiently model a quasi-static problem, the material strain rates calculated in the simulation are artificially high by the same factor applied to increase the loading rate. This is irrelevant if the material is rate insensitive. If strain rate sensitivity is being modeled, erroneous solutions can result. It is generally desirable to analyze a model in its natural time period if rate dependency is being considered. This can be accomplished through mass scaling.

As shown in Lecture 1, an estimate of the stability limit in the explicit dynamics procedure can be expressed as

Le t = , cd
where Le is the smallest characteristic element length and cd is the dilatational wave speed of the material. The dilatational wave speed in a linear elastic material (with Poissons ratio equal to zero) is E cd = ,

where E is the elastic modulus and is the material density. If we artificially increase the material density by a factor of f 2: The wave speed decreases by a factor of f. The stable time increment increases by a factor of f.

Mass Scaling
By artificially increasing the stable time increment through mass scaling, we can analyze the model in its natural time period. Mass scaling has the same influence on inertia effects as artificially increasing the loading rates. Therefore, excessive mass scaling can lead to erroneous solutions. Fixed mass scaling Mass scaling for quasi-static analyses is usually performed on the entire model once at the beginning of the step. One way to define fixed mass scaling is through the specification of a mass scaling factor. Specify f 2 such that the density of every element in the model is increased by f 2. The element stable time increment, thus, increases by f.

There are three alternatives to specifying the scaling factor directly:

2 *FIXED MASS SCALING, TYPE=BELOW MIN, DT=dt

Mass Scaling
Variable mass scaling There are situations in which it is desirable to mass scale elements periodically during a step in quasi-static analyses. This might be the case if some elements experience such large deformations that their stable time increment is drastically reduced. The variable mass scaling option provides this capability. Mass scaling calculations are performed periodically during the step. You specify how frequently the mass matrices are updated.

L5.44

Mass Scaling
Variable mass scaling can be used to scale the mass matrix above and beyond that done with fixed mass scaling. Typically variable mass scaling is defined by specifying a target stable time increment. As with fixed mass scaling you can choose to scale all the elements (uniformly or nonuniformly) or only the elements below the target. Alternatively, fully-automatic variable mass scaling is available for bulk metal rolling problems. The mass scaling factor is computed based on mesh geometry and initial conditions and is adjusted throughout the analysis.

L5.55

Viscous Pressure
Viscous pressure (VP) loading is a very effective way to damp out dynamic effects quickly, and thus reach quasi-static equilibrium in a minimal number of increments. It is commonly used to damp out kinetic energy associated with structural motion (usually on the exterior surface of a body). The viscous pressure load is defined through:

p = cv v n.
The effect of the load is that pressure waves crossing the free surface are absorbed; there is no reflection of energy back into the interior of the model. Note that viscous pressure applies damping at the surface of the body. Damping in the interior of the body is introduced through material damping.

Even though the intended simulation is quasi-static, an explicit dynamic simulation is used. The following aspects would present difficulties for a static analysis with ABAQUS/Standard: The model has no static stability due to the free rigid body motion of the grip and wires. During crimping the grip arms buckle as they are turned by the punch downward into the bundle. There is complex multi-body contact in the analysis: between the grip arms and the wires, between each combination of two wires, and between the two grip arms. The punch is moved downward in such a way as to conduct the analysis efficiently without having inertia effects significantly influence the solution. Viscous pressure is used to damp out dynamic effects quickly.

Summary
Excessive loading rates can produce solutions with significant inertia effects. A general guideline is to restrict loading rates to less than 1% of the material wave speed. Ramping applied loads and boundary conditions from zero also promotes a quasi-static response. Use the SMOOTH STEP amplitude definition. Mass scaling can be used to treat rate-dependent material behavior, allowing the process to be modeled in its natural time period.

Summary
The energy balance can be used to assist in evaluating whether a given solution represents a quasi-static response to applied loads. Since results can depend strongly on the process speed (real or artificially adjusted by mass scaling), it is vital to ensure that unrealistic results are not being generated by excessive artificial process speed scaling. To confirm that the ABAQUS/Explicit results are realistic, it may be useful to study a simplified version of the problem as a static analysis in ABAQUS/Standard for comparison. The easiest way to create a suitable simplified test case for this purpose is often to define a two-dimensional version of part of the problem.
